The Citizens of the Kingdom of God are Fundamentally Different from the Citizens of the Kingdom of Earth.

Dog Poet Transmitting…….

A great shift in perspective comes when a change in orientation from the physical to the invisible occurs. Materialists see ONLY the world around them. Inspired poets and mystics often live with one foot in the visible and another in the invisible and are at the mercy of the seeming winds of conflict between them, and from which comes the timeless acts and objects of beauty, wrought from the torture of their souls; sweet evidence of what lies beyond; that lies within. Then there are those who walk in the Kingdom of God, while they appear to traverse the Earth. They are always around. We have the option to do the same. All it takes is to do it. Act as if it were true and it will become so.

The citizens of the Kingdom of God are fundamentally different from the citizens of the Kingdom of Earth. It is all determined by one’s state of mind. On Earth, due to APPEARANCES of the conflict of opposites, all are striving against one another. In the Kingdom of Heaven, all work in cooperation with one another, or they aren’t there to begin with. They are in The True Light and so the basic understanding of the harmony of existence is present at all times and revealed by that light. In the world below is strife and discord. In the world below, the false light predominates and that means nothing is seen as it truly is. In the world above, all is seen as it is.

What does one do, in this world, in order to prosper in the finest sense? One weaves harmony out of discord; “blessed are the peacemakers.” This can come at a cost in the way The World reckons things because if you are going to bring harmony that means ALWAYS taking the left-hand side of the bargain, meaning you take the lesser amount to begin with, giving up to gain the least of it in order to get the best of it.

Because of the way that The World measures and defines things, the least desirable and attractive forms of behavior are considered the more valuable. The World could not be more wrong. The World has intelligences within it. Some of them are ancient indeed. Some of them have deep enmity for all living things and are always looking for vehicles to express their intentions. People are fooled about what is worth having. Life will teach them though. That is the intrinsic nature of Life. It is out of the struggles and apparent chaos that inspired souls weave a deeper symmetry and leave their mark upon the hearts of the fearful and troubled and upon the fabric of the dusty streets of this world.

I know there are people out there who think this is all some kind of fantasy. The interesting thing is that some of the greatest minds this world has ever produced share this fantasy with me and call it Higher Truth. Look at the jewels wrought by the impact of The Living God upon the souls of those who sought a greater understanding. All through history, the works of these noble souls have rung the sweet and powerful bells of angels, whose invisible hands have shaped them to that end. Look at the marvels of times past and the destitute and profane works we now have as measures of our progress. We have gone backward, BUT… not all of us.

NEVER… never doubt the hand of God in human affairs. We don’t doubt the machinations of The Devil, do we? There is no devil in the way it is commonly understood, no God either for that matter and that is why there is all the bombast and argument; fools contending over the shape and texture of what they cannot see. God… as God exists is incomprehensible to the mortal mind, and The Devil is the shape given to God by the wicked, the fearful, and deluded. It is all one force, differently expressed. In times of Material Darkness, the world devolves into superstition and atavistic impulses.

People have lost their way. The prophets of conventional wisdom tell us now that depravity is the new virtue. Excess is the new restraint. Twisted and bent is the new straight and narrow. Basically… up is now down and backward is forward. Is this not EVIDENT?!? The posturing banalities of the intellectuals and social reformers reminds me of art critics extolling the abilities of artists who can’t even draw a straight line while preening like minks and talking about style and impact. I’ve seen the artistic efforts of modern times. This is what happens when God is eliminated from the equation. Humankind becomes a mockery of Heaven’s intentions. It can’t go on like this, but it is only the death rattle of a dying culture. A new one is to be born.

Only True Art mirrors the inspiration of God and only true art lasts. In time, even that passes but what gave life to them remains eternal. The rest is pedestrian rubbish.

Do not lose faith! God KNOWS the state of your heart and even a LITTLE EFFORT in the pursuit of Godhead can work wonders. God is present in every moment of your life and every moment is an expression of God dealing with your soul. There is nothing in all this world or any other that is not an interplay between you and The Divine. That is ALL it will ever be.

Think of your existence as being at, or next to a line on a dial. It is very much like a shower dial that goes from cold to hot, with every temperature between. Your whole world is defined by the position of the dial and everything you see takes the shape given to it by the color and quality of your emotions and the blueprints of your mind, which are given their character and shape by your water. The water that comes to you is pure, but then it is filtered through your mindset and animated by the nature of your passions. There is a part of the dial that gravitates more and more to The Divine and the images and external surroundings are reflective of that. If you turn the dial in the other direction, then you are beset with the phantasms and horrors of the world below. The World above and the world below are resident WITHIN and whatever appears WITHOUT is an extension of the world WITHIN. That is just how it is.

One can explain it all in different ways and with different words but it is all the same and we have a commonality with each other that unites us on the higher planes, no matter how it may look down here. There was a time when I looked upon those so bent out of shape by anger, envy, jealousy, and fear… with contempt. It took me until later in life to VISCERALLY get that they don’t know any better. They are like dreamers tossed in a nightmare and tortured by their own thoughts and feelings. They are objects for pity and compassion, BUT… I didn’t know any better either. Now I do.

There was a time when I would argue with people and it NEVER went well. You cannot describe to another what they cannot see in the first place and it only makes them angry bringing it up to begin with. They don’t want to know. There is a howling wilderness ‘out there-in there’ that is terrifying. It is terrifying because of undisciplined imaginations and bad appetites. It is not really so terrifying. I have been deep into that howling wilderness and it is not so bad at all if I am not so bad at all. You bring with you what you find. This I have directly experienced as true. We are LITERALLY the creators of our own world. The naysayers simply cannot fathom that they have created all these experiences at another time. Because KARMA has been left out of our understanding in Western Tradition, a large part of life’s puzzle is missing.

The good news is that YOU DO NOT HAVE TO SUFFER like this and you only suffer from your attachments. Lie to yourself for as long as you wish. The Truth is not affected at all. While you turn on the wheel of fire, The Truth shines of its own light and NO DARKNESS can come near. Come nearer to The Truth and The Truth will come nearer to you.

I don’t have to prove anything except to myself and that has been accomplished, again, and again, and again. Years ago, such experiences came to me now and again and all of my conversations were one-sided unless I was in a psychedelic state of being. Then… one day God showed up and reminded me of that Yogananda quote; “If you don’t search for God in the Springtime of your life, he won’t be there in the Winter.” He said, “Well, I’ve here. It’s not even winter and I’m here.” I didn’t get the association until he pointed it out and you can imagine how that made me feel. Since that time the conversation has been in both directions and over time… it happens more and more. It is a daily affair now and I could not be more pleased. It doesn’t matter what others say anymore. I just feel bad for them. Compassion makes it easy to afford them.

I have SEEN the truth of this. Nothing can take that away.

Why people feel the need to argue about what they have no information on is a conundrum. On and on they go, much like those people who hear voices in their heads because no one is listening. Heck, even the people who hear voices in their heads are listening better than the people arguing are listening to each other. It is a tad perplexing to me because I have to walk through a dangerous asylum where all the inmates are negatively self-medicated. It’s not just the alcohol and other comestibles, it’s the negative spectrum of emotions, cut off from the higher levels of feeling. It’s the WANTING… endlessly wanting. God help them.

It is fine to me whatever posture or position anyone takes on what I have to say. I KNOW we ALL come to a higher understanding sooner or later. It depends on how much suffering we can endure, and once the mind has convinced itself that their objectives are worth the suffering there is nothing one can do; keeping in mind that misery loves company and will do anything to get yours. This is where energy vampires come from. There are two distinct hierarchies and one serves that which serves them, either way you go. To whose tender mercies do you intend to submit yourself, aye… that’s the question, isn’t it?
